Study summary
Cellbooster® Hair (CBH) is a class III medical device, CE marked, HA-based injectable using the patented CHAC Technology. It consists of stabilized Hyaluronic Acid 18mg (6mg/ml) with Amino Acids and Vitamins, and minerals (zinc, copper). The medical device is designed for strengthening hair follicles, improving hair growth and microcirculation. It restores scalp skin structure and provides hair fiber restructuring. The device is a resorbable injectable implant for preventing and treating various scalp and hair problems linked to hormonal imbalance, psoriasis, seborrhea, stress, nutrition and trace elements deficiencies, such as: hair loss, hair breakage, scalp dehydration, dandruff, premature graying. The device improves microcirculation, restores scalp skin structure and other qualities, provides hair fiber restructuring after physical and/or chemical damage, such as: hair dying, permanent wave, sun, dryer.
The current post-market clinical investigation aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CBH in the scalp of subjects. For this purpose, healthy subjects with signs of hair loss will receive a 6-session treatment spaced every 2 weeks and will be followed-up over 130 days after the initial injection session. Objective measurements of scalp function and hair characteristics parameters will be performed allowing to assess hair density, hair diameter, hair structure, scalp hydration, scalp barrier function and thickness and having illustrative pictures. Subjective clinical improvement will be evaluated with clinical scoring, as well as subject and investigator satisfaction degrees. The safety of the injections will be assessed by collecting the Injection Site Reactions (ISRs) and Adverse Events (AEs).
